In his own words

Hey, I'm Justin. I'm an outgoing, ambitious, thoughtful, inquisitive, open-minded kind of guy. Learning new things and experiencing all that life has to offer keeps me driven -- I'm endlessly curious of the world around me. I'm a serious foodie so I love to try different recipes, experiencing new cultures and local, independent restaurants. Food is a passion (I like to eat, hope you do too!). Eating delicious food with good wine or craft beer and fantastic company is a lot of fun. I enjoy being healthy, physically fit and stay very active running, biking, lifting and doing crossfit. I believe in doing good work that does good. My sense of humor is dry/quirky, one that develops the more time we spend together. If it sometimes doesn't make sense, that's ok. It'll keep you on your toes. I am looking for a relationship partner who knows what they want and with whom I can make a strong connection. She should like who she is and have a passion for herself and her interests. Someone who likes to live a healthy lifestyle and stay active is important. Conversation that goes beyond just popular culture, reality television, and the Colts is a plus. I am attracted to people who are focused on something and passionate about that thing in their lives, even if we cant necessarily share them -- but I'm open to learning! Let's share some experiences and create new memories together. That's what it is all about, right? Are you in?

For fun

food, cooking, eating, reading, running, biking, the gym, socializing over coffee, visiting wineries/breweries with friends, college basketball, baseball, local events and festivals, farmers' markets; live music

I like to read biographies, learning about people and how they made an impact on the world around them. I"m a voracious reader of current events so Time Magazine, New York Times, Indianapolis Star are standard.

I'm an associate professor of communication and officially "hot" on a popular professor rating website.This will be useful when I'm up for promotion again. My students know I'm a catch, now it's your turn.=) My career is something I do; not who I am.
